One of Bombardier's most successful Ski-Doo models was the Olympique, introduced in 1964. The stylized design, with the distinctive bright yellow trim, took advantage of the increased spped and performance provided by the Austrian-made Rotax engine. When the Olympique was discontinued in 1979, over 265,000 units had been sold. Canada Post commemorated the model in a special stamp. (ref. 2) - Function
